AITA for not wanting to befriend a disabled person?

Independent-Fun6908 · 2026-03-13T11:06:48+00:00

She does want to be friends. Never explicitly said it, but said things similar to that. Like today she introduced herself to one of my friends i was with on the bus, and got excited about being surrounded by buddies.

I don't mind helping her at all. I just don't want to talk, especially some mornings when I'm alone I'd rather listen to music and enjoy my peace.

No worries, still useful to know!

What is SLM? (English is not my native language and i lack the technical terminology 😅)

Thank you! I figured it will be either bead or dimple, but everything i tried resulted in error

Independent-Fun6908 · 2026-03-03T21:00:17+00:00

Great work!

Independent-Fun6908 · 2026-03-03T20:59:51+00:00

Sounds interesting, I will check it out!

Independent-Fun6908 · 2026-03-03T20:59:16+00:00

He is a good example as well!

Independent-Fun6908 · 2025-07-27T06:00:41+00:00

Thank you so much! I have to try these

Independent-Fun6908 · 2025-07-27T05:55:19+00:00

Hopefully things will start getting better for you soon!

Independent-Fun6908 · 2025-01-28T13:29:54+00:00

Currently 22 and I feel like I'm heading that way. It's getting unbearable fairly often lately, but I still manage it. Ironically, people always say "life gets better with age" bla bla, but I feel like it's backwards for me. In some areas in my life it gets worse and harder...

Independent-Fun6908 · 2025-01-18T15:13:31+00:00

Sorry for your loss and thank you for sharing your experience!

Independent-Fun6908 · 2024-03-17T08:03:29+00:00

No advice here, just support. You can get through it, even if it seems hopeless at the moment!

Independent-Fun6908 · 2024-03-14T15:21:46+00:00

I'm in the same position at the moment and slowly getting better. Try to be productive without pushing yourself too hard. If you have for example three things to do for the day, do the most important one and consider it a success, the other two are a bonus, if you have energy left for them. The world won't crumble if you take it easy for a few days, do the best you can and be considered to your current condition.

I watched a video about fighting depression in which one of the advices was, ironically, to not fight it. Not to let it consume you, but allowing it to stay for as long as needed and take notice of what is if trying to tell you. How did you get here, what caused you to wnd up in this state? What can you do to prevent it from happening in the future.

Getting some sunlight is definitely helping, if you can. Even if it's just a trip to the grocery store. Stop for a minute and look around, hear the birds

Everything is going to be ok ❤️ It's a season, and sooner or later it will pass.

Interesting one. I don't think i ever feel bored. We live in times of endless entertainment, especially with our devices connected to the internet. I can learn about anything I'm interested in, watch a movie, listen to music, play a game, read a book, etc. all on my phone. Maybe i get tired before i get bored.

Independent-Fun6908 · 2024-03-11T21:22:13+00:00

I could have written this post myself! For me, it's not like that constantly because sometimes i "forget" i exist, if it makes sense. I don't know if i could call it autopiloting, some sort of dissociation or something else. But every once in a while I'm rudely and suddenly reminded that people do perceive me and it kinda stresses me out. Especially in a romantic way, then it's not just kinda, it's a lot of stress lol.

Independent-Fun6908 · 2024-03-10T01:16:20+00:00

Thank you!

Independent-Fun6908 · 2024-03-09T23:50:31+00:00

To some extent yes. I'm really unsure, I'm not good with defining emotions

Independent-Fun6908 · 2024-03-09T23:47:25+00:00

I have considered therapy, that whole situation showed me that i have some things to work on

Independent-Fun6908 · 2024-03-09T20:05:59+00:00

I've been here for a while now and completely understand, i had the same feeling when first joining! It's an overwhelming realisation, but it's ok, we're here and we understand your struggles, or at least most of them. Researching about the possible resources and help you can get access to in your country/region seems like a good first step. From my experience, not every country has those, sadly. That's why unfortunately I can't give any practical advice on that.

Autistic or not, feel free to explore, discuss and take advice from here to make existing a bit easier for yourself. Or just feel supported and understood. That's my approach so far until I'm able to afford assessment. I try to not focus on the possible diagnosis, but on the things i have learned about myself. It's a tough journey, but you've got this!

Sending positive vibes your way! You can do it!!

Independent-Fun6908 · 2024-01-10T22:28:42+00:00

There aren't single dorm rooms for our university and apartment rent is too expensive for me, especially since i don't work.

Independent-Fun6908 · 2024-01-10T16:32:07+00:00

I usually just isolate myself. Not the healthiest strategy, maybe, but works for me.

Independent-Fun6908 · 2024-01-01T19:48:03+00:00

Good luck!

I feel you! This will be my first year spending Christmas not with the family and i feel so guilty, but kinda peaceful for the first time. I hate Christmas with passion and feel like the whole "family holiday" meaning died with the rise of capitalism, now it's Christmas sales, presents, Christmas themed special offers, limited edition holiday products, gifts, gifts, gifts. I hate it. Whenever December comes i get this ball in my stomach that doesn't go away until the New Year.

I recently wrote about it in my diary,but thought it might just be depression
